And got results:
Code:
nSubsidy1 = -10780497
nSubsidy2 = 1000000000


Guess the GC code had an integer overflow in it  Wink Like I explained, this is what happens when you use too much math and go over a 9 quintillion satoshi calculation. That's 9 with 18 zeroes. Although that's pretty hard to believe, apparently it's happening on multiple coins now too. Surprise!

*sets off fireworks*

Coins ops are the worst programmers.  Kiss

Satoshi didn't expect such calculations  Wink

I'm sure he did. That's what a debugger is for. Although no one could stand looking at his code until about 2000 people got their hands on it and made it actually human readable. I'm sure he didn't depend on doing calculations in the quintillions though, because he knows his math.
